Recommended Models:
- Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B

- We welcome community experience sharing with other local models in our Discord
Prompt Engineering:
- Local models require more specific and cleaner prompts
- Avoid high-level, ambiguous commands
- Break complex tasks into clear, detailed steps
- Provide explicit context and constraints
Note: The cost-effective configuration may produce less stable outputs and require more iterations for complex tasks.
